Jason's Surgery

Last week Jason went in and had tubes put in his ears and adenoids taken out. He had to be there at 7 am. Luckily the hospital is just down the road. The same place I am delivering this next baby! Jason woke up kind of cranky. When I took him back and got him dressed in the hospital gown he was not at all interested in wearing that! It's a good thing I tied it on tight! Doesn't he look so happy? Jason wouldn't even hardly look at the doctors and nurses that came in and talked to him and explained things to me. So after about 45 mins. in the back waiting, they took Jason back to surgery room. I got to go back there and help move him on to the really skinny bed for surgery. They had me put on scrubs too! When they put the mask over Jason's face he just started freaking out! That was hard for me not to cry. Luckily he was crying and inhaling a lot of the gas and went to sleep in like a minute. I then left and went to my own individual waiting room. I was glad I brought a book! The doctor came in and let me know how everything went after surgery. Jason's adenoids were very large and pussy. So those for sure needed to come out! When they brought Jason out I could hear him screaming. The nurse was trying to hold him while he was fighting with her to get down. I held him for 40 mins. and the whole time he was just a mess. He had fluid draining out of his ear, bloody snot coming out of his nose, his lips were all swollen and he was still kind of out of it from the anesthesia. He was restless the whole time. It wasn't until we left that he finally calmed down. By that night he was out riding bikes with everyone else and doing a lot better. He was on antibiotics, but still had a yellow/green runny nose and so they switched it to another kind. Yesterday was the first time with that. Hopefully it becomes more clear. If after a month he still has a runny nose, I am going to take him to an allergy specialist and check him out. Allergies isn't a problem with my other kids, but Jason's immune is so different than any of the others. One step at a time!!

What a crazy ordeal. I don't know how you keep your cool, Kira! I'd be losing it! I'm glad he's doing a bit better, and I hope he continues.

Btw, your phone takes pretty dang good pictures!!!

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
